Trump will stop illegal aliens and help American workers

As I reflect upon Labor Day, I urge workers, both union and non-union, to consider supporting Donald Trump for president. Mr. Trump is the only candidate who will stop the flow of illegal aliens into our country. This influx of cheap labor is taking American jobs and depressing American wages.

The influx of illegal aliens disrupts the labor market, altering the balance of supply and demand. As the supply of illegal labor goes up, the price of all labor goes down. This means stagnating wages and a lower standard of living for all those here legally.

Wages of the American middle class are under assault from an odd political coalition. The Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with union bosses to open the illegal labor floodgates. Under pressure from the Chamber, establishment Republicans feign resistance to illegal immigration while actually doing nothing to prevent it. Beholden to their deep-pocketed donors, establishment lawmakers can’t afford to cross a primary source of campaign funds. The other coalition partner, union bosses are joined at the hip with Democrats. Union bosses push the open borders policy on the hope of recruiting more dues-paying members. They push the open borders policy in spite of the damage it does to the wages of their current members.

With Donald Trump as the Republican nominee, the American worker finally has an opportunity to vote for someone who will stem the flow of illegal labor, thus protecting the economic interests of the American middle class.
